scratch the connecting rod and make that a hook, could be anywhere I've seen something that as holding shutters closed at a French & Indian era Fort, Fort #4 Charlestown NH.  I'm sure there were hundreds of jobs for this size hook.

The latch or my hook with coins what is are you talking about

the next to last looks a lot like a connecting rod to a small engine? 

The 6th one down looks like a tire chain connector to me

I cleaned it up

rusty wrought tends to look stringy

Does it rust in sheets ? Unlike cast that rust in blister is that correct ?

Top left in Pic 1 is magnatite an iron ore (also in 2,4,5).   Top and bottom in pic 4 as well as most of pic12 are slag.   

Really ? I thought it was a chunk of wrought. What makes you say so ?

The last one looks to me like it used to be a spike of some sort. I see an everyday piano hinge and some scrap wire. There are a few pieces that have me curious but most of all the triangular shaped piece. I don't know why but I really like it. Do you know what it is or where I came from?

The last one is hammer I broke I belive retriveing it. Thank you so much for telling what the hinge is form. The triangle piece is a wrought iron final.

was it found with a metal detector? I also metal detect. first pic- some melted aluminum, second pic-looks like some melted lead, on top of an old stove lid, not sure exactly what the bracket thing was on. third pic-? fourth pic-some square nails and some other random things that I am not sure about, fifth pic-looks like the same bracket item, a piece of cast iron off of an old kettle, a couple square nails, melted aluminum and brass- I might be wrong. Sixth pic- some sort of hook item/farming piece? seventh pic-old bottle, bricks, square nails, crumpled brass hinge, some twisted wire eight pic-stove lid, and crumpled brass hinge, ninth pic-a couple washers and some large hunk of steel or cast iron tenth pic- the same bracket thing and crumpled hinge eleventh pic- another pic of the decorative bracket and some twisted wire twelfth pic- not exactly sure thirteenth pic- also not sure fourteenth pic-looks like a large square nail. some of this I am probably wrong about, but thought I would try.

Yes It was found with a  metal detector.The stove lid is unrelated to the issue.

Those objects are a pewter splash a wrought hand forged items.  I hope a smith on this site can help me learn about these objects
